In The Beginning Lyrics - Pete Frega

Here's a sweet thing 

for the boys at Sun in the Memphis days 

when the King was young, 

when Carl was picking like his rhythm was the only one. 

Spinning gold with Sam, 

oh, and Big John strumming with a mighty hand, 

and the Killer rolled. 

With their pompadours shaking they came rocking on the radio. 

In the beginning it was poodle skirt bedlam, 

cloud nine, Daddio, sing hard, break hearts. 

In the beginning it was flames and gasoline, 

hot sweat, screaming teens, 

speeding up the pop charts.

They set the world on fire 

with a torch that passed from the lost highway 

and a lone blue note 

that Mr. Johnson stole from the devil at the crossroads. 

In the beginning it was poodle skirt bedlam, 

cloud nine, Daddio, sing hard, break hearts. 

In the beginning it was flames and gasoline, 

hot sweat, screaming teens, 

speeding up the pop charts.
